A wallet for receiving sale proceeds and paying lease fees, enabling unified management of physical and financial assets.
On June 27, GarageBank Corporation added a new wallet feature to cashari, the app for managing and unlocking the value of personal movable assets. With this feature, users can complete receiving sale proceeds and paying lease fees and other amounts through in-app operations alone, enabling unified management of physical and financial assets.
The new wallet service has been built using the embedded financial services offered by GMO Aozora Net Bank, Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Chairman & CEO: Taketo Kaneko; President: Takeshi Yamane; hereinafter "GMO Aozora Net Bank"), and is integrated with a dedicated branch account, the "cashari branch account." In connection with launching the wallet service, GarageBank has registered as an Electronic Payment Service Provider in order to access users' cashari branch accounts and execute lease-fee transfers from those accounts.
